TextLanguage: English Publication details: Springfield, Mass. : Merriam-Webster , 1996Description: xx, 634 p. : ill., map ; 22 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 0877796041Other title: Dictionary of lawSubject(s): Law -- United States -- Dictionaries | Law -- DictionariesDDC classification: 340.03 M55d 1996 LOC classification: KF156 | .M47 1996Summary: "The law touches the lives of all Americans. Even such commonplace activities as driving a car, depositing money in a bank, and entering a retail store have legal ramifications, although we are not ordinarily conscious of them. At other times-as when a relative dies or when we marry or divorce, file our income taxes, are injured in an accident, or sell or purchase a home-we may be acutely aware of the law's presence. At such times we feel the need to know the law and to understand the often unfamiliar terms that make up its language.
'Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law' is designed to meet these needs by offering convenient and comprehensive access to the language of law. It provides concise coverage of more than 10,000 legal words and phrases, based on a thorough examination of the legally relevant citations drawn from the nearly 15,000,000 citations in the Merriam-Webster offices and supplemented by a review of material available through various online legal databases. To make the dictionary easier to use, the information provided here is presented in a style that will be familiar to all users of standard desk dictionaries."
